By COLONEL B. R. WARD, R.E. CONTEMPORARIES of a great man are rarely able to appreciate the true foundation of his claim to greatness. They are apt to be dazzled by the moie obvious and brilliant aspects of his character and achievements, and fail to see his true position in the great current of human history. Thus Voltaire in the eyes of his contemporaries was a brilliant wit and controversialist, Rousseau an eloquent writer on social subjects, Napoleon a supreme master of the ait of war. Only the obvious characteristics of these three great men were clearly visible to their contemporaries. Macaulay's magnificent appreciation of Voltaire was written more than fifty years after the death of the famous writer, and shows clearly that a political thinker, writing at so late a date as the middle of the Igth century, was unable even approximately to appraise the value of the work of his great predecessor. "If thou wouldst view," writes Macaulay in that astonishing style of his, which here at least reaches the very high-water mark of rhetorical verse, " If thou wouldst view one more than man, and less, Made up of mean and great, of foul and fair, Look here, and weep and laugh and cuise and bless, And spurn and worship, for thou seest Voltaire. " That flashing eye blasted the conqueror's spear, The monarch's sceptre and the Jesuit's beads, And every wrinkle in that haggard sneer Has been the grave of dynasties and creeds. "In very wantonnness of childish mirth He puffed bastilles and thrones and shrines awav, Insulted Heaven and liberated earth. Was it for good or evil? Who shall say? " It was not until long after the death of Napoleon-a man who in his youth had been saturated with-the writings of Rousseau-that Sir William Napier, perhaps the greatest and certainly the most elo- quent of military historians, could write of him as " the child and the champion of democracy." 58 THE ROYAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL. [FEBRUARY Now at last-in the year I 9 I6-it is as clear as the sun in heaven that the real work of Voltaile, of Rousseau and of Napoleon was to range France on the side of Liberty and Democracy, before the com- mencement of the new era inaugurated by the World struggle which commenced in August, I914, against Tyranny and Autocracy. Now that the lists have been marked out and the battle engaged, it is clear to all eyes-although we are contemporaries of the great soldier whose career we are now considering-that the r6le that General Joffre was destined to play in the world's history was that of the champion of civilization, the Joshua destined to lead the European nations into the new era of liberty foreseen by Voltaire and Rousseau and usheied in by Napoleon as the champion of the Revolution. Joseph-Jacques-Cesaire Joffre was born at Rivesaltes, in the old province of Rousillon, on the i2th January, I852. This province exchanged Spanish for French rule in I659 as the result of the Treaty of the Pyrenees. This treaty was the crowning success of Mazarin, the great minister of Louis XIV. The Roussillon people are moun- taineers, and although they have been incorporated with France for over 200 years they speak a Catalan dialect closely akin to that spoken on the other side of the Pvyenees. Joffre was one of eleven children, his father being a working cooper who owned a small patch of vineyard close to the town. Had it not been for a friendly uncle who was struck by his intelligence, Joffie would not have enjoyed the education which was his at the lycde in the neighbouring town of Perpignan. Another Rivesaltes lad who was educated at the same school, and who has been his friend ever since, is the present General Roques. Roques, like Joffre, is a famous Engineer officer, and held the posi- tion of Minister of War before being appointed to the Command in the Field which he now holds. That the French Commander-in-Chief and War Minister should both hail from the same little Rousillon town is a remarkable feather in the cap of Rivesaltes and the best possible justification of the policy of Mazarin.

  • Press Release
    HM GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR PRESS OFFICE No.6 Convent Place Gibraltar Tel:20070071; Fax: 20043057 PRESS RELEASE No. 252/2012 Date: 18 th April 2012 GSD used Government material for party-political propaganda The Government has established that Opposition Leader Peter Caruana used designs commissioned and paid for by the taxpayer in the GSD party's general election manifesto. This constitutes an abuse of power and is another example of the former administration blurring the distinction that should exist between party and Government. The images in question were prepared as an integral part of architectural concept design exercises for the GSD Government during the last four years. These Government images then made their way into the GSD manifesto for the general elections of December 2011. While it is difficult to quantify exactly what element of the overall design fee is apportioned to the production of a single image, the estimate is that over £7,000 worth of Government images was used by the GSD in their last election manifesto. The relevant images in the GSD manifesto are the following: Page 22 Flat Bastion and Arengo's Car Park artist's impression Page 23 Engineer Lane and South Barracks Car Parks artist's impression Page 27 Cruise Liner artist's impression Page 36 Senior Citizen's Residence elevation Page 38 Theatre Royal artist's impression Page 41 Plata Villa Performing Arts artist’s impression Page 41 Orange Bastion Arts Centre artist’s impression Page 41 GBC Studios artist’s impression Page 46 New Cancer Hospice artist’s impression Page 47 New Mental Health elevation Page 49 Governor's Parade urban square artist’s impression It is not acceptable that the taxpayer should subsidise the GSD manifesto in this way.

    MS. I. 15. 211 . V SIEGE OF GIBRALTAR. The Frontispiece to this volume represents the principal Officers of the Garrison of Gibraltar assembled on the ramparts, to view the dreadful scene which ensued from the Spanish battering-ships being set on fire. General Elliot on horseback in conversation with Gene- rals Boyd, De La Motte, and Green, points to Sir Roger Curtis, and a detachment of British seamen, who, at thehazard of their ownlives, are rescuing their vanquished enemies from destruction. At a distance, on the left, is a view of the camp of the Allied Army, and the head quarters of the Duke de Crillon ; on the right is seen the Rock of Gib- raltar.—See page 306.
